Chapter 570: Reasoning that is "better" than the script
"We must first have a direction for reasoning, step by step, and peel back the cocoon. You can't just suspect others, which will not only mislead others, but also reduce your own credibility," writer A said very seriously, "Solve the puzzles one by one, do things one by one, don't try to guess one from several suspects, this is not the behavior of a detective." ”
Everyone nodded their heads, feeling justified.
"In fact, we have to solve the first question first, that is, how does the murderer kill people?" Writer A continued, "It is known that the captain of the ship is far superior to the suspect, not to mention that one suspect, even if five of them are on the same page, it is impossible to kill the captain." It was not bedtime either, and the captain sat at the table, and there was nothing to eat or drink at the table. How can I stab the captain in the chest head-on?"
"Poisoned?" Kevin replied subconsciously.
"It's a possibility," replied Writer A, "but it doesn't make a couple of senses. Poison first, and then stab again, perhaps because you are worried that the poison will not die. But why do you want to get blood all over the room?"
"Vent your hatred?" Kevin said casually.
"There was only one stab wound on the deceased, right?" Writer A asked the crew.
The normal crew opened the script and confirmed it twice: "Yes, with your post-mortem level, only one stab wound can be found." ”
"Then there is no such thing as venting hatred, and there must be other purposes for getting blood everywhere!" Writer A concluded, "and what's the point of the murderer deliberately creating such a secret room? Wouldn't it be cleaner to poison and kill people and then throw the body into the sea? ”
Everyone fell into deep thought for a moment, and Kevin replied, "Maybe...... The killer just wants to play a game of murder in a closed room to see who can guess the murderer. ”
Everyone: "......"
"Let's think about it, first of all, open our minds. With the strength of a weak man, how to stab the captain head-on. Writer A goes back and forth to inspire everyone.
But except for Kevin, it seems that no one else is using their brains, everyone just subconsciously goes to see Kevin, and it seems that it should be his turn to speak lines.
"If poisoning doesn't work, it's seduction," Kevin just subconsciously replied, "If a person sits on his lap and stabs him, it's probably ......."
Secretary M and the waitress both had embarrassed expressions, the others looked as if watching a play, and Start frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. And the captain is still dutifully playing dead.
"Seduction!" Writer A pondered for a moment, "If the reality is analyzed, with the strength of the captain, even if he is stabbed in the heart, he will not be killed instantly, and a delay of two or three seconds is at least." Neither lady was a skilled man of force, and the captain's death-defying counterattack was enough to cripple them. ”
"Wouldn't it be too professional?" Kevin disagreed, "In most works, breaking the heart is tacitly killed on the spot. Moreover, even if the captain can delay for two or three seconds, he may just be surprised and can't react, shouting 'you...... You...... You're ...... Uh......'. You must know that not everyone is attacked and can fight back instantly. People who have been in a peaceful environment for a long time may be stunned for a while if they are suddenly attacked. ”
Writer A nodded in agreement: "I admit that the possibility exists, especially in some kind of excitement, maybe the turn will be slower." ”
Kevin nodded: "And there are also all kinds of unpopular ways to play, if the captain likes to tie himself up, then no matter how fast he reacts, there is nothing he can do." And it also explains why the captain was killed with his own knife. It is likely that the captain himself handed the knife to the murderer to satisfy his own ...... Cold-hearted cravings. ”
The crowd gradually grew their mouths: "......"
"But as a murderer, this is an uncertain factor after all. She wasn't sure in advance that the captain would be able to react, or what kind of game the captain would play," Writer A continued, "I think that if it's really a boobys-trap killing, then I'm afraid it's more likely to be temporary." ”
"Improvisation," Kevin thought for a moment, "it's a possibility." The captain was suddenly excited, just in time to see someone passing by, and then beckoned someone to him. With the majesty of the captain, the other party did not dare to resist, so he carried out indescribable things in the captain's room. The murderer endured in silence, and finally found an opportunity, and in a fit of rage, stabbed him to death. ”
On the side, the normal crew members couldn't listen: "This, I'll interrupt." I think this game will damage the reputation of our captain if it continues like this. ”
"Don't worry, if your captain can't stand it anymore, he can jump out on his own. Kevin reassured.
On the side, Start couldn't help but jump out and ask: "What about the murder clothes? Sticking to the stabbing knife, doesn't the blood splash all over the body? How did the murderer deal with it?"
"Quite simply, the murderer doesn't need a murder suit," Kevin replied, "and the murderer is naked when the captain's room is indescribable." All she had to do was throw her clothes away or under the table when she was undressing. Then it doesn't matter if you kill someone and splash your blood, just put on your own clothes and cover it. ”
"What about the face and the hands?" asked Stadt.
"There is no way to do it on the face and hands, there must be some blood stains. But one of them washes the cups, the other has to go to the toilet, and both have time to do the simplest rinsing. Kevin stood by the point.
Starter sneered twice: "Then you mean that the two of them now have at least one person, as long as they take off their clothes, they are full of blood?"
"yes, I just don't know if your games are so rigorous. Kevin responded with a smile.
Start still smiled helplessly: "Of course, it's rude to let the lady take off her clothes, but it should be okay to show her belly." ”
Secretary M looked indifferent, lifted his shirt to reveal his belly: "White, do you see?" The waitress did the same: "It's also white." ”
Kevin looked surprised: "This, this, maybe...... If it is said to stand behind the captain's back and kill someone, ...... with both hands around the body"
"If you stand behind the captain and want to stab him in the chest, the knife will be clearly in front of the captain's eyes, and if he doesn't react, the captain will be too ...... Excited. Starter couldn't help but sneer.
"Alright, Poet K," Writer A suddenly looked confident, "you've overlooked something important. And with this thing, then all the puzzles are solved!"
Everyone was shocked, excited and nervous. Is the legendary top mystery writer finally going to show the operation?
"Look, I said there was something wrong with this curtain," writer A pointed, "everyone looked at the curtain, what did you think?"
The dragons set you look at me, I look at you, someone seems to have something to say, but they all decided to hold back and set their eyes on Kevin. And Kevin really lived up to expectations, stared at the curtain for a while, and then said amazingly:
"Curtain temptation!"
"Well said!" said Writer A.
Others instantly grew their mouths: "......"
"Where is the murder suit?" Writer A began to reason confidently, "First of all, today's captain was suddenly excited, and after finding a certain suspect, he pulled him into the captain's room. The captain made an indescribable request, and the suspect knew that he could not resist, so he would do it!"
"The suspect doesn't even need to take off her own clothes, she just needs to wrap the curtains around her. The curtain was as light as tulle, so gorgeous that the captain could not hold himself like a woman dancing on it. At this time, looking for an opportunity, the suspect took the opportunity to sit on the long leg of the boat, get close to the other party, and suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed it in the heart. ”
"Blood was splattered, but there was a curtain in the way. If the captain had reacted quickly, he should have been able to fight back, but unfortunately the captain died before he could react. Then, the killer hurriedly hung the curtain back in place, but in order to save time, she hung only two buttons. In addition, if only the curtains have blood stains, it is very conspicuous! and it is easy to be reversed from the scene at the time and then find the murderer. ”
To cover it up, she simply sprinkled the rest of the room with blood. That's why there were no signs of a fight in the house, but there was blood all over the floor. Then she hid in the house, maybe behind the door, or under the table, and when the normal person knocked on the door, the normal person was frightened by the blood in the room and hurriedly ran out, while the murderer took advantage of the gap and returned to the original place in a grand manner. ”
Everyone gradually closed their mouths, as if it felt a little reasonable, but still: "......"
"No!" Kevin retorted, "There's a loophole in between." ”
"You mean the knife, right?" Writer A himself knows, "I really don't know how the murderer got the knife, could it really be that the deceased gave it himself?" to satisfy his ...... An unpopular hobby: a man draped in a curtain, dancing with a knife?"
"Actually......" Kevin hesitated, "I didn't think about the curtain problem when I was talking about the murder clothes just now, but I thought of another possibility!
The crowd grew their mouths again: "......"
"Is it possible that the murder garment was actually worn on the deceased. The captain took off his coat and let the murderer put it on, making the captain feel as if he was ...... Have a deep communication with another captain, or even with yourself. Kevin desperately tried to use some urbane words.
Start complained angrily: "No matter how you phrase it, you can't change it, this is a yellow joke!"
"But no matter how unpopular the captain's fetishes are, there is one problem that makes sense. Wearing a uniform, how can you not wear a weapon, at this time the captain handed his own knife, it makes sense," Kevin pushed down reasonably, "and then, the murderer sat on the captain's lap like a boatman, pressed against the captain, and could even say something like 'oh, you're so good' in the captain's ear." Taking advantage of the darkness of the captain, he suddenly stabbed the knife......"
After that, all she had to do was take off her coat and put it on for the deceased. Although it sprayed blood, but anyway, it was put back on the deceased, and it could solve the problem of murder clothes," Kevin still shook his head after speaking, "But it's still not rigorous, just a coat, it shouldn't be possible to block all the blood." And if you change all your clothes and pants, it is not allowed in terms of time. ”
"Yes, it's still okay to block the curtains, your head and hands can block it. Although it is very thin, if you wrap it in several layers, there is still no problem," Writer A looked at the curtain in a daze, "It's just, this knife ......"
Suddenly, the two of them seemed to be shocked at the same time, and their eyes lit up: "Why didn't I think of it?"
"Yes, actually, the curtains and the uniforms themselves ...... It's not a conflict!" The two spoke almost in unison.
The faces of the people were frightened: "......"
"Yes, the murderer is wearing a captain's coat and a curtain on one side, imagine," Kevin pointed to his head, "a young girl, wearing a captain's uniform jacket, bare-legged, and ......"
"That's enough!" Stadt couldn't help but shout to stop, "So the murder method is out, who is the murderer? ”
There was a silence, and before I knew it, almost everyone's eyes were on Secretary M. This is also something that can't be helped, the secretary M is much more beautiful than the waitress, theoretically...... Of course, there are actually various possibilities, so no one said anything.
Writer A shook his head helplessly: "We are only deducing the murder method at present, and as for the evidence, we have to find it slowly." ”
Kevin also said, "Guys, it's just a game. Even if someone is really caught as a murderer for a while, it is just a game, and there is no reputation problem in between. Could it be that he is a murderer in the game, and in reality he will always bear the infamy of a murderer? In the same way, there is no problem playing with curtains in uniform in the game!"
"It's different. The normal crew hurriedly shook their heads.
"What's different?" Kevin asked rhetorically, then answering himself, "Oh yes, it's different." The murderer is known to be fake, and that ......"
Kevin said half of it, so he didn't go on and gave them their own experience.
"Ahem," writer A pulled back to the topic, "I thought about it again, and if I had to find evidence, I think the foot might be the key." Because even though the curtain is wrapped, it is still difficult to walk without stepping on blood stains in the current situation. But apparently, the shoes of several of the suspects were clean, so I would venture to assume that they were in a state of taking off their shoes when they committed the murder. ”
"That is, as long as they take off their shoes, there should be blood stains on the murderer's feet, and it will be difficult to remove them in a short time," Kevin nodded, "Please take off your shoes two ladies." ”
Secretary M and the waitress immediately took off their shoes and socks, but they were all clean. Kevin turned to look at Stat, who was just a stall.
"Is it wrong again?" Kevin and Writer A looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion, but now they could only wave their hands, "Let's take off the other suspects too." ”
And this time, something surprising happened! Everyone else was clean, and the shriveled old man who was sweeping the toilet took off his shoes, only to see that his socks were full of ketchup!
"The captain is actually so good?" many people subconsciously shouted, all of them were shocked, and the dragons all squeezed their heads to come over to see. The old man himself was comfortable: "I have been wearing tomato sauce in my shoes, and I am uncomfortable to death." It's finally over. ”
Kevin was also shocked, turned his head and asked Stadt, "What kind of script is this?"
Writer A looked puzzled: "Times have changed?"
Starter finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Okay, let's announce the answer!"
On the side, the normal crew began to read aloud: "The murderer is indeed an old man sweeping the toilet, but he didn't play with the curtains in his uniform! He just deceived the captain's staff of authority, and then used the authority to kill the captain!"
"Cut!" Not only Kevin and Writer A shook their heads, but even the dragons were also excited when they heard this.
Start spoke: "You have to collect evidence and investigate, and ask more people." You didn't get a lot of clues, you followed the waitress to see her wash the cups, to see the footprints of the security guard, right, but to go to the toilet?"
Kevin sighed in his heart, he was very sensitive to emotions. The old man had no mood swings, and felt like a marginal figure outside the crowd, but the others were more or less nervous. Kevin proceeded with his illusion feelings, but he didn't expect to be taken into the ditch. In the end, he is an older person, well-informed and has a stable mood.
"What do you explain about the curtains, how do you explain the blood in the room?" Writer A was still unconvinced.
The normal crew was silent for a moment at the manuscript: "I think our original script is bland, and it is not as wonderful as their reasoning at all. Or...... Shall we change the script?"
Stadt: "......"
The captain finally got up from pretending to be dead at this time: "Hahaha! Actually, that curtain is our mistake. When we were making ketchup, we felt that the original thick curtains were too cumbersome to wash, so we replaced them with thin curtains. As a result, the staff was lazy when it was changed, so they hung two buttons. ”
"As for the blood in the room, it is actually the murderer who is suspicious, and there is no special intention. The normal crew replied.
Writer A was a little dissatisfied: "Then we reasoned about the curtain problem, you should remind us that this is not part of the game." ”
Starter smiled: "This ...... We do look at what you can deduce. ”
